The Must-Have Beauty Products for
Fall 2013

Consider this your beauty version of a back-to-school supplies list. Pencils? Yes, of the eye variety. Coolest new nail polishes? Check. Skin care, primer, and fragrance? Triple check. These are the top-of-the-class new beauty products for fall.

Confession: We would obsess over these polishes even if they weren't two badass shades of glimmering green and vampy red (we just heart you, Marc). Use Sally (left) on your fingers and Jezebel (right) on your toes for 20 digits worthy of a post on a nail-art blog.

The obvious elephant in the room with this YSL palette is the shimmery lime green eye shadow—a bold and brash option for summer, let alone fall. While you may not opt to dip your brush into it every day (or fine, ever), the navy and gray options are beautiful and totally wearable. Bonus: The graphic purple-and-gold packaging makes this look like a collector's item.

If you like sweet fragrances, listen up: The scent of lychee, peony, and tangerine in Swift's new perfume is uplifting and girlie, but not cloying. Sandalwood and cashmere musk keep it grown-up and sexy.

Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Makeup won an Allure Breakthrough award last year for its super-lightweight, super-awesome texture. But the liquid foundation isn't the neatest item to primp with on the go. The solution? Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Makeup Compact (available in October). It's the same flawless, lightweight coverage in a spillproof little black case. And the included brush makes it easy to blend on the go.

If the leaves can change colors, you can change eyeliners. CoverGirl's Ink It! liners glide on like a liquid, but stick like a temporary tattoo (hence the name). They're precise enough for a cat eye, and 12 hours later, your aqua, black, and gold liner won't even think of budging.

Ready to rethink facial oils? A few small drops leaves skin glow-y and hydrated, without any greasy residue. Spread it all over or just on your cheekbones for a pretty highlight. The eight essential oils, including English lavender and rosemary leaf, smell fresh and earthy.

If you rubbed the silkiest eye serum ever on your lips, it might feel like this. Essential oils (all 14 of them!) leave lips moisturized and soft, while the 24-karat-gold-plated applicator feels cool to the touch (it's refreshing on chapped lips). But don't treat this like any old lip balm—at $42 a tube, you won't want to forget about it in the pocket of your jeans before doing laundry.

This duo is like an in-office microdermabrasion treatment, minus the price tag. It includes a three-speed electric cleansing brush and the Thermal Crystal Polisher, a self-warming facial polish that's about as cozy as a chunky cable-knit sweater.
